Solar Pool Heating - Any recommendations/advice - Perth area
Hi,
After having a pool for a couple of years we are now thinking of heating to prolong the swimming season. We currently have a pool blanklet, which works well, but are now thinking about heating of some kind, probably solar. Dont know too much about it though, so am asking on here first for experiences you may have had, and the effectiveness of your desired heating solution.
I dont particularly want the matting on the roof, would rather have some sort of rigid panels instead, as we have friends with the matting, and it has sprung a leak on several occasions.
Any advice much appreciated

You can get a small heat pump for about $500 - $1000 which is easy to fit and not too costly to run. See for example : http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Swimming-...#ht_8372wt_981
